Abstract

Gallium arsenide High speed optical techniques Nonlinear optical devices Nonlinear optics Optical device fabrication Photoconductivity Photodetectors Temperature Testing Ultrafast optics
In this letter, we report the design, fabrication, parametric testing, and analysis of a intermediate growth temperature (IGT) GaAs MSM photodetectors. The broad-area, ultrafast photodetector displays linear and nonlinear photocurrent generation characteristics as a function of applied bias and optical power. The photocurrent/dark current ratio 7/spl times/10/sup 3/ is significantly larger than normal growth temperature or low growth temperature 200/spl deg/C based GaAs MSM's. The optical responsivity of 130 mV/pJ Is the highest ever reported for similar ultrafast MSM photodetectors. This device is uniquely suited for high-speed, high-photocurrent applications, such as optoelectronic trigger sources for phased-array antenna systems.
